Windsor-Severance Fire Rescue has invited the community to join them Saturday for a pancake breakfast to benefit their museum.

The tenth annual breakfast will be held at Fire Station 1 between 7 a.m. and noon. The cost will be $5 per person for pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, coffee, orange juice and milk. Children under 12 are free.

The benefits will be used to fund special projects and artifact upkeep at the museum located in Boardwalk Park, said Todd Vess, battalion chief for the department.

“The retired and current staff all come together for this. It’s a neat event and a great fundraising mechanism,” he said.

One particular project is the station’s oldest fire truck, from 1921, which currently needs a new water pump for its engine.
